Age of Adepts

The remaining fire on the ground has not been completely extinguished.

Curls of black smoke lingered over the former battlefield.

With Keslinburg as the center, there are almost no human buildings that can maintain their original form within a hundred miles. Even the green jungle that can be seen everywhere has become a piece of scorched earth, with large black scorched marks marking the area of ​​his original rule.

However, on this withered land where life was extinct, the Keslinburg still stood silently in place. With the naked eye alone, it is impossible to find any signs of damage or battles on this castle that is still intact on the outside.

In the center of the main battlefield, which is full of devastation and ruins, there is still an ancient castle left? And according to everyone's understanding, at that time, this Keslin Castle had been activated into an indomitable violent stone giant, and had a fierce fight with the Crimson Family...

Even though he knew that there must be secrets in it, after the two sides fought, none of the core wizards of the Entom family escaped and disappeared without a trace. This also made many onlookers puzzled, and felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts.

Could it be that the Crimson Clan has reached such a height that the Entom Clan headed by old Freed can't even escape? This kind of speculation also made Mirva and other wizards feel jealous, and even the momentum of resisting the Crimson family with contact was a little bit weaker.

At this moment, the few central forces that had firmly opposed the Crimson Family have all died down, acting as if they are temporarily avoiding the limelight, and do not want to be targeted by the Crimson Family and become the second Entom Family!

The reason why they opposed Crimson before was naturally that they did not want to abandon the power and status in their hands. But if the result of fierce opposition is the death of the soul and the severance of the family inheritance, such a price is too cruel for the fourth-level wizards who have lived for thousands of years.

Freedom is important, but if the price of pursuing freedom is one's own life... This is absolutely unacceptable to fourth-level wizards!

Compared with life, being subservient to Greem and becoming a subsidiary force of the Crimson Family is not so unacceptable.

In the past, they were used to being the tigers in the middle of the mainland, so there was undoubtedly some deviation in their knowledge and cognition. Having never seen the horror of superpowers, they thought they could unite and force each other to bow their heads by virtue of their numerical superiority.

The battle between Gravel Canyon and Keslinburg completely shattered their false arrogance and comfort, and made them fully realize the power of superpowers. It seems that the superpower and the fourth-level wizard are not the same species. They are located at the two ends of the food chain. One is a predator, while the other is ridiculously reduced to prey...

This kind of cognition completely subverted their inherent impression formed in the past hundreds of years, and also made them realize their shallowness and naivety. Sandi Tower Forest can exist for tens of thousands of years, not because they, the fourth-level wizards, have deterred the three major wizard organizations, but because of the delicate balance reached by the other party's entanglement with each other.

Now that the balance has been broken, where will the future Sandallinn go? It has become a question that every wizard in the central region needs to think about and choose!

Should he choose Greem, or one of the three wizarding organizations? Or will it become a big quagmire, making the central part a bloody battleground where the three wizarding organizations fight each other?

When the fourth-level wizards in the past heard the words Unified Central, they instinctively rejected them, preferring to keep the previous comfort and relaxation. Now, even they have to seriously think about this issue.

If they are unwilling to make a choice, someone will always force them to make a choice. And by that time, the choices left to them will be much less...

Before you know it, unification or non-unification has become a thing of the past, and now more people are discussing how to unify!

Whether Greem is cruel, whether the Crimson family will be winner-take-all, where the wizard families will be in the middle of the future... Each of the thorny issues that need to be solved has become what many family executives want to know and want to know the most s things.

Of course, the answers to these questions can only be obtained from the Crimson Family!

So, on the eleventh day of the Entom family's destruction, that is, the second day after the Molten Fire City forces announced that they would join the Crimson family, mysterious envoys who had concealed their identities flocked to Kerslinburg from all directions, wanting to face See that Greem who just won the battle, and get the most tangible promise from him.

And the first thing they saw when they arrived at the station of the Crimson Fleet was the Keslin Fort that had gone through the brutal war but was intact.

Many envoys who have been coming and going to Kirslinburg all the year round secretly raised a little doubt. The castle in front of them is the same as before in terms of appearance and style, and it seems that there has not been any change. But when their eyes fell on the castle, they always felt a very strange sense of strangeness.

It seemed that they had only seen this Keslinburg for the first time today!

With this strange feeling, the secret messengers of each family stepped into Keslinburg.

Once inside the castle, this feeling is even more intense.

The same castle gate, the same gray stone square, the same light golden stone corridor, the same spiritual suppression, even the magic aura flowing in the stone wall is the same... But what filled the messenger's nose was a thick The smell of blood, lingering in the ear is the terrible howl of the soul, and the weeping blood of the dead soul can be seen looming in every corner...

Everything indicated that a terrible blood sacrifice had just been carried out here, and the targets of the blood sacrifice were most likely those wizards of the Entom family who had no news.

There were more than two hundred wizards, and there were as many as seven third-level wizards alone... Such a huge number of wizards were all sacrificed...

Every time I think about this, the envoys sent by these various wizard families feel terrified, and even walk a little stiffly.

It is naturally impossible for Greem to meet the numerous envoys from various families one by one, and only those large wizard families can meet him in person. As for the remaining small and medium-sized families and wizarding organizations, they can only call on Meryl and ask her to convey some secret agreements and terms.

Since the war had just ended, the surrounding area was already in ruins, so these envoys could only temporarily stay in Fort Keslin. But after only staying for one night, all the wizards moved out at the same time.

They would rather build a mud hut in the open wilderness and barbecue some wild food casually, rather than stepping half a step into Keslinburg. That night of nightmares almost drove them crazy.

According to private rumors of some wizards, that night when he lived in the castle, he woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, and was horrified to find that he was not lying on that warm and comfortable big bed, but soaked in a terrifying pool of blood that was almost overflowing.

In the pool of blood, there are missing heads, stumps, broken small intestines, white hair, densely packed with terrifying souls that almost filled the surface of the pool... Dead souls crawled out of the pool one by one, gray and gray. The face is extremely distorted and hideous because of the pain, and the mutilated arm is stretched out, wailing desperately and sternly at you...

As for the four walls, the floor, and the ceiling of the room, they were all covered by a strange gray substance. The gray matter squirmed and swelled constantly, and there were thick tubes like blood vessels growing on the surface. The wall of the tube is flesh-colored, translucent, and gurgling... There is a viscous purple-black liquid flowing inside, and you can vaguely see the remnants of flesh and blood that have not been digested.

Living in the castle actually gave him a strange feeling that he was living in the intestinal wall of some strange life form, and it was this feeling that prompted him to move out in a hurry, never daring to step into Kesi again. Limburg is half a step away.

This Keslinburg is by no means the former Keslinburg!

It has undergone a certain mutation, and it has become... It has become an inexplicable weird guy with dual characteristics of alchemy life and flesh and blood life.

Therefore, those with keen senses have chosen to stay away from it under the instinctive drive!

In fact, not to mention these foreign envoys, even several high-level members of the Crimson family temporarily lived in the giant floating ship, and did not dare to spend the night in Keslinburg.

There are currently only two tenants in the entire Keslinburg: Greem and Mary.

Of course, Shadow Demon always followed Greem's side, protecting him personally.

As for Greem's choice to stay in Keslinburg, the reason was not self-torture, but to further subdue this strange life that had escaped from the prison of life and the imprisonment of witchcraft.

Yes, the current Keslinburg has fully possessed all the characteristics of intelligent life forms. If it wasn't for the lack of a permanent energy body, even Greem would have difficulty restraining such a forbidden life that swallowed the entire Entom family.

Compared with ordinary intelligent life, the biggest feature of taboo life is that their growth and growth cannot be separated from taboo methods such as blood sacrifice, killing or destruction. Although the wizards usually look like they have no taboos, they still have to abide by the basic wizard rules, and they must not easily harm low-level creatures on the same plane.

This is also a wizarding convention for the sustainable development of the entire wizarding civilization!

You don't have to obey, but once your evil deeds are announced, all wizarding organizations and forces will blacklist you, and will no longer conduct any resource transactions and knowledge exchanges with you.

Even some hated wizards will take the initiative to chase you, and this kind of hunting will not be bound by the wizard code.

Therefore, considering the serious consequences, no wizard would dare to blatantly and openly carry out killing or blood sacrifice. Of course, as long as the hands and feet are clean, there is nothing wrong with everything that is done behind the scenes.

Every year, a group of wizard apprentices die quietly in those private wizard towers. And most of them fell victim to individual wizards testing dangerous witchcraft or forbidden experiments. For these, most of the wizarding forces chose to turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and did not conduct too much review.

After all, every bit of progress of their own wizards symbolizes the growth of the overall strength of the family, so why not do it!
